When the almost certain nominee of a major party is promising to DEPLOY THE MILITARY TO CRUSH POLITICAL DISSENT, the headline describing it ought to go further than "Trump hints at expanded role for the military within the US"

These developments are only shocking to white people who can now see that the state violence typically reserved for racialized communities will be more broadly deployed against all those who resist oligarchic exploitation, as the diminishing returns of capitalism cause widespread suffering.

Rounding up the media and putting them in pens to be insulted and abused by his rabid fans during the 2016 campaign taught them exactly the WRONG lesson (iow: the correct lesson an authoritarian thug wants).

Just like the @nytimes.com published an article about Trump's plans for a Soviet-style purge with the headline:
"How Republicans Plan to Wield Power in 2025"
Bury the lede much? 🙄

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. Albert Einstein. Ask yourself is this the future you want for your Kids and Grand Kids ? Under Chairman Trump.

Would love to have some discussions about what’s happening to CURRENT political dissent under the current administration. Like forest defenders at Cop City in Atlanta for instance.

Members of the military are legally obliged to disobey an unlawful order. At the same time, that is a lot to ask of the military because they are also obliged to obey orders, and the punishment for disobeying an order that turns out to be lawful, your career is basically over & results in jail time.

Big "1930s Berlin editorial meeting" Energy "So our headline is 'Hitler's views are...', well, we don't want accurate words like 'genocidal' or 'antisemitic'. Too judgmental. Suggestions?" "How about "Mr Hitler hints at reduced role for some people within the 'alive' category'?" "Great! Lunch?"

Was listening to the NPR piece just yesterday on democracy and devolution into civil war and calling out how the media bends over backwards to sanitize his authoritarian rhetoric when discussing it for the sake of "civility" came up over and over again

“While deploying the military regularly within the country’s borders would be a departure from tradition…” A “departure from tradition”, like skipping cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving.

Platforms like this are the only way left to get information out. News outlets are about all controlled by groups backing Trump, any news they put out is slanted or outright lies.

The irony is, this is the very thing the rightwing has claimed to be worried would be used on them, and they themselves are enabling it. Morons.
